Possibly the cutest Stone Age artifact | The Amber Bear of Slupsk
The Amber Bear of Slupsk was found in 1887 during peat mining near Słupsk, modern-day Poland. It was made by carving and polishing a conveniently shaped piece of sea amber with a natural opening. Signs of wear around the holes indicate it was worn on a cord probably as an amulet. It is estimated that it was made between 9600 and 4100 BC.

Vivid depiction of Roman cavalry in action | The Portonaccio sarcophagus
Переглядів 81821 день тому
The Portonaccio sarcophagus, dated to around 180 AD, is a striking example of ancient Roman funerary art. Its front side portrays one of the most realistic engagements between Roman cavalry and barbarians during the Marcomannic Wars. A faceless knight dominates at the center of the scene. His identity is debatable and so are the reasons why his face was never carved. Roman Empire Aulus Julius P...
Masterpiece of Hellenistic realism in art | The bronze head of Seuthes III

The bronze head of Seuthes III was discovered in 2004 by Bulgarian archaeologists in the royal burial site of Golyama Kosmatka, not far from the ancient city of Seuthopolis. Seuthes III was a king of Odrysia, a part of Thrace, during the late 4th century BC. The findings at Golyama Kosmatka suggest that an Orphic ritual was carried out on the day of his burial.

Until the discovery of the imperial insignia of Maxentius, we could only read about such objects in ancient sources and see their depictions on coins and sculptures. The insignia were personal to each Roman emperor and upon his death, they were usually burned together with his body. However, Maxentius' regalia were hidden in dramatic circumstances on October 28, 312 AD, allowing their preservat...

TOP 5 Depictions of Cleopatra VII in Ancient Art
What a wonderful little thing; thank you very much for your excellent video. :o)
I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the detailed explanation of this incredible archaeological find! I remember reading about this and seeing a few photographs of these finds years ago, but nothing near as detailed as what you have provided here. Fascinating to see how these items were conserved and are now on display.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the video :)
🇧🇬🫶🇧🇬
Beautiful channel, thank you so much Sir!
Thank you!
Just the another day I say a vid about a romeaboo ranting about the word byzantine and how it shouldnt be used for being too offensive. He seemed to be fine with the word babarian tho like many other of his stock.
This Masterpiece has influenced many more than artists of the same time, The Pisanos's & Benedetto Antelami Sculptors, who worked 1000 years later were put on the same stylistic spell as the artists of the third century AD. Good Choice for a lecture, really!
Indeed :) Thanks for your comment!
Grave robbers found a ring and kept it.
Can I touch it.
I would like to, but touching is not allowed ;)
Nor did the Bulgarians have anything to do with the Thracians
I haven't made any claims regarding the ancestry of modern day Bulgarian nation if that's what you're suggesting. However, I did say that the discovery was made by Bulgarian archeologists and that the Golyama Kosmatka mound is located in Bulgaria which is all true. Thanks for your comment!
Your wet dreams do not match with reality. Thracians were the local population, unlike the greek sea colonizers. They did not simply vanish into thin air, Bulgarians definitely have their DNA.
Bulgarians came to the Balkans from the Caspian steppes 900 years after the extinction of the Thracian kingdom.
@@advancedclaus2196 Your DNA test, paid for by you, with the participation of your own scientists in a reputable laboratory in Florence, proved that you have nothing to do with the ancient Thracians. It was found that you have in common with the Proto-Bulgarians and that you are not related to the Turks and Altai. I'm sorry you dried up your dreams. By the way, I ask. What language did you speak from the 7th century AD when you came to the peninsula of Haemus until the 9th century when you were given the Cyrillic alphabet?
@@novelcarecyprus5713 Are Bulgarians = Bulgars? Your opinion does not really matter, even though you probably think very highly of yourself. Thracians did not vanish into thin air, they are part of the ancestry that the Bulgarian people genetically have. Cope, cyprus 🤣
It might also be feasible that they just wanted the significant quantity of expensive bronze in the body of the statue to be made into other things ?
Yes, that is a possibility. Another one, but not excluding the recycling of the rest of the statue, is that they buried just the head similarly to the burial of Orpheus' head on the island of Lesbos.
Thracians were not Hellens ...
The artist most likely was.
wonderful.
That should be worth millions
Most scientists do not believe even people in ancient Rome's time thought the world was flat. If that sphere is a representation of the world, then that's pretty good evidence that they thought it round.
I mean, we know they didn't: Eratosthenes actually measured the Earth's curvature, & in so doing worked out how big the Earth is pretty accurately (we don't know exactly how accurately only because we don't know exactly how long the 'stadia' he used were)
@@thealmightyaku-4153 (yeah, but it's rhetorically more impactful for the cheap seats this way)
The ancient Egyptians knew the Earth was round, and how big it was. And where they were, on it. So the Romans probably did, too.
The AI artwork really makes things feel fake and spammy..
Thanks for the comment, appreciate your feedback.
That whatever it is is 'best preserved', you are joking right?
It is pretty rough but still it is the best preserved one in existence ;)
Very interesting seen the object really brings history alive
Very interesting seen the object really brings history alive
Thats crazy i had no idea. This place and the lyceum r definitely destinations for me.
Thank you for this insight into mature Roman imperial court life, ceremonial and art. The treatment of Maxentius's family seems retrograde and cruel. Was this still common so late in the empire's development, or did other factors generate this cruelty?
Amazing
The National Museum of Rome at Palazzo Massimo is a fantastic place, full of amazing finds and seldom crowded. My wife and I often had whole galleries to ourselves.
Now I'm jealous ;)
MAXENTIUS? Never heard of him. Probably wasn't even a real emperor if you ask me
"Real Emperor." What do you mean by that? If you took three minutes or less to look-up Maxentius you would have an answer
His successors didn't think of him as an emperor, his successor Constantinus I could eat him raw. But if you walk down the via sacra from the colloseum towards the forum, the big cut in two building on the right is the ruin of the Maxentius basilica. Quit impressive to be true. So, he must have had some imperium when it was built in his name... and with his money.
Facinating, one of the rarest finds from imperial Rome and among the very few artifacts that can be directly associated with a Roman Emperor.
A pretty amazing artifact along with the story behind it's discovery. Almost like the Roman Tutankhamun...it's a haunting image that's been captured in that ring.
Stunning!! Thank you for sharing this!!😊
That belongs in the British Museum!
😂
Wow that's cool...good video mate..
thought this was gonna be viral. keep going bro you'll defo get on the fyp soon
A glorious thing
Great video.
Thank you for this video!
It’s a bit sad that it wasn’t left on her finger.
That's the thing with archaeology, it is destructive as you need to basically dismantle a site to learn about it.
@@lendiantv yes, don’t get me wrong.. i love archaeology which is why I’m here. It’s just that this story is so human and many of us can relate to this kind of loss.
@@dmd_design its better that they found it and not tomb robbers who care little for history and more for selling it to a private collection that will never see the light of day.
Incredible craftsmanship in the ring, and also with the tomb. I wonder how they did the ring.
Looks like they carved the gem on the side facing the setting.
That’s so sad there is nothing left 😢
Yeah.
It could be possible, but we don't really know who was buried in the osiris shaft. I imagine at one time the upper rooms were filled with sarcophagi like you see in the Aswan tombs.
Zahi Hawass is a holding back the truth, about everything. Besides that, he was caught in illegal artifact trade, as a SELLER.

An artistic representation of Cleopatra VII can prove absolutely nothing about her ancestry. Just look at Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones. On the other hand, let's make a historical point. In ancient Egypt, during the Persian domination (from around the 6th to the 3rd century BC), BEFORE the arrival of the Greeks, Aramaic-Egyptian bilingualism was adopted. More broadly, the various communities that settled in Egypt, or that were close to it, encouraged the development of multilingualism (Ethiopian, Arabic, Mede). Following the Greek invasion, Koinè (a common language derived from several dialects of the Ionian-Attic group) was adopted by the Hellenised Egyptian elite living in the Greek metropolises. In rural villages, on the other hand, Egyptian was spoken. Until the Hellenistic period, Greece did not constitute a nation, and there were several dialects. It was thanks to the conquests of Alexander the Great that Ionian-Attic, or Koinè, was established. Thereafter, the Greeks were determined to impose this language. It would become part of their identity. Throughout the Hellenistic period, the city of Alexandria was the largest city in the Greek world. The city was the capital of Lagid power. The Greek rulers refused to learn the local languages and imposed the Greek language as a means of communication in fiscal, administrative, military and political matters. The Greeks, born in Egypt, continued to define themselves by their cultural particularism, which set them apart from the Egyptians. They often constituted a community apart and viewed the native population with a certain distance. Although immersed in an Egyptian environment, they were careful to maintain their Greek culture. So, Cleopatra was born into an environment in which no Greek had learned to speak the Egyptian language for almost 300 years. It was a tradition. It was a rule. As with all invaders. No European learned the language of the Amerindians when they landed in the Americas, or that of the Aborigines in Australia. Hitler, to my knowledge, did not try to practise the French language. So, how, rationally, could a descendant of the Ptolemies defy a major ban, respected by her entire line for several centuries, and suddenly decide to go against this ban, a centuries-old tradition ? How could 2 Greek-Macedonian parents, living in Alexandria, teach Egyptian to one of their daughters, when they themselves only speak Koinè and refuse to learn the local languages ? Find out more about bilingualism. Ask bilingual people. How did they manage to speak 2 languages? Because they were immersed in 2 cultures. Not by taking lessons from teachers. To speak a second language fluently, you first have to learn some basic phrases, then talk to a speaker of that language, hear and listen to that language on a daily basis, In fact, I invite you to do your own experiment. Try teaching a second language to a 2-year-old child, so that he or she speaks it fluently 10 years later... What will you do? Once an interest in languages has been created in a young brain, it's possible to envisage learning a 3rd, a 4th and so on! Cleopatra's taste for learning several languages therefore undoubtedly came from her Egyptian mother. This definitely gives Cleopatra VII an Egyptian ancestry. An African ancestry. Moreover, it is not impossible that Cleopatra VII's mother was descended from Greek and Egyptian parents... It is perhaps less demonstrative, but Octavian, referring to the relationship between Mark Antony and Cleopatra, refers to her as "the Egyptian". What's more, Cleopatra's daughter honoured the Egyptian religious elite in her distant capital of Caesarea of Mauretania (in modern Algeria) by building a temple dedicated to Isis . It makes sense when you honour your own ancestors . In the manuscript L'Abreujamen de las estorias (BL, Egerton MS. 1500) written around 1321-24 by Paolino Veneto, available online (type 'f. 15v Cleopatra and Julius Caesar'), Julius Caesar is depicted in white, and Cleopatra in black .
Cleopatra rome visit may have create such a sensation.like elizabeth taylor .her statue and image are all over in italy.
One thing we know for sure is that Cleopatra was NOT black, regardless of what Netflix says!
An artistic representation of Cleopatra VII can prove absolutely nothing about her ancestry. Just look at Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones.
@@gfabrice971 Her ancestry was Greek not African. That we do know.
@@melindadouglas1673 No, that's what we call belief. What is certain is that Cleopatra VII's father, Ptolemy XII, spoke only Greek, like all his predecessors in the Lagid dynasty. What is certain is that the Greeks living in Egypt refused to learn the local languages, wanting to assert their own culture. What is certain is that Cleopatra VII spoke at least 7 languages, including Greek, Egyptian and Aramaic. What is certain is that Cleopatra VII learnt to speak Egyptian through intimate daily contact with Egyptian speakers. Consequently, a Greek mother could never have taught Cleopatra to speak Egyptian and Aramaic. It was only an Egyptian mother who taught Cleopatra to speak these languages. Cleopatra therefore obviously had Egyptian blood. Cleopatra therefore unquestionably had African blood.
